Stoke City duo Saido Berahino and Jese Rodriguez are both likely to be excluded from the Potters squad for their trip to West Ham in the Premier League on Monday night.

Berahino, who hasn't scored a goal in two years, has been ordered to train with the Stoke U23s by manager Paul Lambert having turned up to training late twice in three days.

Spanish striker Jese, signed on-loan from PSG last summer, was granted compassionate leave to care for his ill baby boy back in his homeland but has been AWOL for the last few days and didn't turn up to training on Thursday.

Jese scored on his debut against Arsenal in August but has not appeared for Stoke since the 2-1 home defeat to Everton in March and that was as a substitute for an 11-minute cameo.

Another Stoke player, Ibrahim Afellay, has been banished from the club and defender Erik Pieters was recently fined £70,000 for breaking a curfew the night before the aforementioned Everton game.
